  (Promoted by Devilstower) Which of the major Democratic party candidates has the best energy platform?

  (From the diaries -- kos) After a long six and a half years of watching almost helplessly as the Republican Party loots, rapes and pillages everything from the Constitution to the middle class to non-threatening countries overseas, it's always satisfying to see rats call a spade a spade and jump off the pirate ship known as the modern GOP.

When she first ran, the BDN got all agog because people had looked at information in the public record about her. They are her biggest fans, excusing away every pro-war and pro-Bush vote.  They help keep the myth
